I know everyone is probably waiting for the pictures of the birthday party that I promised. I will get them done before the end of the week. I have been pretty busy this week. Our house is still a mess from the birthday party, so that is my number one priority.

Tyler had a few more outbursts during his baseball game on Tuesday. I am at wits end. The psychologist is suggesting an anti-depressant to help him control his insecurities. I just do not know how to feel about that. I think that there should be some way to teach him to deal with his feelings better, we just cannot seem to find the way. He gets so upset and has low self-esteem. His emotions are now turning to anger and that has become a problem. He also seems to have social anxiety since that is when most of his episodes come out. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to let me know. We have tried positive reinforcement and grounding him from things. When we try to find out what is bothering him, he always says "I don't know". Mommy is about to lose her marbles. We are going to see the pediatrician next month and hopefully she has some suggestions.

Update on Zach's girl....He says that he "broke up with her because he did not like her anymore". I cannot believe at 11-years-old he is already thinking about girls.

Steve and I are looking forward to our first camping trip together this weekend. We are hoping for good weather. Joshua is going with us and I hope to plan another trip with all of the boys really soon. That is something that we have never done as a family. Now that the boys are getting older it is easier to plan trips like this.

By the way, we are going to have our annual Fourth of July party at the house. Please let us know if you are planning to come.
